WIP: The UFO Edition

Cast on June 2006. Ack! Didn't touch at all last year. Gorgeous clapotis-to-be...please forgive me.

I'm just not sure why this has been a UFO for as long as it has been. Its my second Clapotis (I love my first!) in the same yarn. I splurged at Stitches West 2006 and bought this from Oak Grove Yarns. The yarn is Gemini (50% silk, 50% merino) in the colorway Desert Sand. I absolutely love it! And since Disco finished her Clapotis, I've been wanting to get back to mine. Throw in some encouragement, and this UFO is now a fully-functioning WIP! I'm half way done and started a few rows last night. My first goal is to maybe have it done by the end of the month for the January Finish a UFO contest over at Skeins Her Way. We'll see. If not, definately in time for Stitches West to show Disco when she comes to visit!!!!!!

But there are a few other WIPs that may distract me between now and then.

Monkey socks for me!

Cropped Cardi for Little Guy's Mom!

Thank goodness I have an understanding SIL who doesn't mind very late Christmas gifts!

I do have a nice 3-day weekend coming up to get some serious knitting done!!

Loads of WIPs. Keep going! That Clap will be done before you know it, and that cardi can be finished during the 3 day weekend (of which I'm totally jealous, by the way, because I don't get tomorrow off). Have fun!

And serious knitting you did! You know, I did not need to hear about Oak Grove yarns because (even though I swore I'm not going to SW this year !) IF I were to go and all...well, ya know...I just don't need an excuse to go snooping over at that booth and getting some of that yarn for a -ahem!-Clapotis!-LOL! Yeah, right, me knit a Clapotis! Well, knit part of one, yes. Complete one...I'm not so sure about that!
